Ratings aren't an effective tool, especially when employers punish any failure to reach 5/5. For me, a rating of five stars means "Someone did a job, and it went perfectly ok." A rating of between one and four stars, meanwhile, means "I am prepared to jeopardise a total stranger's livelihood."

One thing is certain. No human being, in the whole of forever, has ever uttered the sentence "This is a new way to enjoy my favourite treat!"

Oh good. More remakes of old concepts. That's totally better than creating an original idea.

No, we don't "need" capital letters, the same way we don't "need" hot running water, or kettles, or to say "Good morning!" to people we know in the street. It's just one of those things we collectively decided to do to make our experiences - in this case, reading - more pleasant and convenient.

You can't "confess" something that someone else does. If anything, this is a "public shaming". It ought to be on the "publicshamehole" feed instead.

I think the fundamental error the writer makes, and the trick which AI tries to pull, is that itās creating something, not copying it. Fine to be inspired by an artist if it prompts you to create something new. But a machine is utterly incapable of the kind of āthinkingā required to do that

On similar lines, x can be replaced by ks, c can be covered by k or s depending on whether itās hard or soft, and y can become j, pronounced as it is in foreign languages. Iām not paying for 26 letters when I only need 23!

āInformation wants to be free!ā We didnāt place proper value on information in the early days of the Internet, so now we get information thatās worth exactly what we wanted to pay for it. Reap what we sow, etc, etcā¦

The European Union saysāplural forms are acceptable as long as they do not change the EUR rootā european-union.europa.eu/institutions... I guess they get to have a say in the grammatical rules governing their own currency, yes?

The amount of lampshading they do throughout... "It's really weird that I, a cop, am caught up in movie-worthy fights with terrorists every Christmas Eve! What's up with that!"
